Products FAQs

DRM stands for Digital Rights Management, and it refers to schemes in which a digital book is copy-protected, or limited to reading on only certain devices. Books sold on this website do not include DRM. However, these works remain the property of the copyright holder, and most are licensed for the personal use of the purchaser. Further, we strongly discourage piracy/infringement of author works.

Payment FAQs

Your ability to pay using currency other than the Indian Rupee is limited only by the limitations on your credit card. i.e. if your credit card permits foreign transactions, the payment will be accepted. At the time of the purchase, the credit card provider, whether MasterCard or Visa or any other, will present the prevalent currency exchange rate to you. You may then decide whether or not to pursue with the purchase. The display on the website of various prices, however, will remain in Indian Rupees.If you choose to pay using Paypal, the amount charged will be the dollar equivalent of the total cost. This equivalent amount is displayed before you proceed to pay.

When you purchase books on this website, we do not store any of your data on our servers. Instead, we pass on this data to trusted 3rd party data processors, also known as payment gateways, who employ the latest encryption technologies to ensure that your data remains safe.

Shipping FAQs

We could offer free shipping like many other ecommerce platforms but that would mean having to shut down this business. Shipping (and packaging material) is expensive and we charge customers what is charged to us. We also offer multiple options for shipping and allow our customers to choose what suits them best.

As part of the description of each book or map or other item, the time taken to ship that item is mentioned. We will ship the item within that period. Further, the time taken for the item to reach you after it has been shipped will depend on the transit courier itself. Whenever possible, we will provide you with a tracking number so you can monitor the package.

We are small as bookshops go, but we hope that our customers will drop by, see how our tastes can align, and let us help them find new books. We started as a children’s bookstore, and with books on Goa, but today we also have a large Konkani section, and a huge stock of second-hand books. We do events too, like author meets, movie screenings, children’s workshops, and serve delicious coffee.
